Females became adult always at instar six (i.e., after the fourth nymphal instar) and males reached adulthood at instar five or rarely six, but wild-caught specimens examined herein indicate that also females can mature at instar five. Gestation lasts for about six months, and the single female that gave birth in captivity (the largest measured in

are damaged, evidently because of bad handling while collecting (i.e., both were clearly crushed when still alive). The labels inside the vials were produced on a typewriter and are in good condition too; all bear the collection locality and the date of collection. In some specimens the natural coloration pattern has faded due to the long (7677 years) preservation in ethanol. The glass containers and vials where filled with fresh 70% ethanol after examination of the scorpions. The vials 425 and 432 were not present in the jar; at this moment it is unclear if both are actually missing or misplaced somewhere else in the collection.

The main morphological characters such as color pattern (somewhat darker overall, with deep blackish metasomal segment V and telson), very robust pedipalps and metasoma, high pectinal tooth counts, and tegumentary sculpture (coarsely and densely granulose), all clearly indicate that they are not referable to

): in each pecten, the basalmost tooth is greatly enlarged and actually seems to represent a fusion of at least two teeth; both pectines are strikingly symmetrical, which is the first documented case. According to our personal observations, fused teeth are very common among scorpions, but almost always are restricted to one pectine only; the very few double cases we have found have always been asymmetrical, because different numbers and positions of teeth are involved.
